The Ministère de la Culture's notice

Seigneurie du Monteil attestée depuis le début du 15e siècle. Il n'en subsiste qu'une tour quadrangulaire tronquée, datant du début du 16e siècle. Le niveau supérieur est occupé par un pigeonnier. Refuge de royalistes pendant la Révolution. Autour des années 1800, les dépendances agricoles de l'ancien domaine seigneurial sont transformées en ferme de maître, offrant un excellent exemple d'un type reconnu de maisons rurales de la fin du 18e et du début du 19e siècle.

Lordship of Monteil attested since the beginning of the 15th century. Only a truncated quadrangular tower remains, dating from the beginning of the 16th century. The upper level is occupied by a dovecot. Refuge for royalists during the Revolution. Around 1800, the agricultural dependencies of the former seigneurial estate are transformed into a master farm, offering an excellent example of a recognised type of rural houses of the late 18th and early 19th century.
